Re: [asterisk-biz] Does callprogress work with DSS1 (EURO-ISDN) for playing early media announcements?

Hello Trixter,

I have also talked to the carrier and they confirmed that early media
feature is enabled and that I would have 90 seconds for playing early
media announcements. I've sent them my full isdn trace and they've told
me that I do send progress information and even the correct progress
indicator, but - as I've already mentioned - the progress information
that I send is in the wrong message type. It's in PROGRESS and they
expect it to be sent in either ISDN message-type "Setup",
"Callproceeding" or "Alerting". Sorry,I can't get it more clearly...
Even Sangoma has told me that it may be a problem with libpri, zaptel or
asterisk.

Greetings Sabine.
